Installation

Nidra is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Choose the appropriate installation method for your operating system.

System Requirements​

  • Operating System: Windows 10+, macOS 10.15+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+, Fedora 35+, or equivalent)
  • RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended
  • Disk Space: 500MB for installation

Download​

Visit nidra.dev/downloads to download the latest version for your platform.

Windows​

  1. Download the .exe installer from the downloads page
  2. Run the installer and follow the setup wizard
  3. Launch Nidra from the Start menu or desktop shortcut

macOS​

  1. Download the .dmg file from the downloads page
  2. Open the DMG and drag Nidra to your Applications folder
  3. Launch Nidra from your Applications folder
macOS Security Warning

Nidra is not yet code-signed with an Apple Developer certificate. macOS may show a "GlacierLens Nidra.app is damaged and can't be opened" error when you try to launch it.

To fix this, open Terminal and run:

xattr -cr "/Applications/GlacierLens Nidra.app"

This removes the macOS quarantine flag that is applied to apps downloaded from the internet. After running this command, the app will open normally.

This is a temporary workaround — a future update will include proper code signing.

Linux​

  1. Download the .AppImage file from the downloads page
  2. Make it executable: chmod +x GlacierLens.Nidra.AppImage
  3. Run the AppImage: ./GlacierLens.Nidra.AppImage

Tip: You can integrate the AppImage with your desktop environment using AppImageLauncher.

Verify Installation​

After installation, verify that Nidra is working correctly:

  1. Launch the application
  2. You should see the Getting Started wizard on first launch
  3. Create a new collection or import existing requests

Automatic Updates​

Nidra includes automatic update checking. When a new version is available:

  1. You'll see a notification in the app
  2. Click to download and install the update
  3. Restart the app to apply changes

You can check for updates manually in Help > About Nidra.
